My argument is clear about how ridiculous absolute values of crime pertain to how safe it is for someone. That you instead want to nitpick the exact # of murders in NYC (when I just winged a 3 per 100k at 8m population) is indicative that you can't refute it and your original assertion is incorrect.

If anything, the real # in 2023 of 386 only further proves my point. That it's ridiculous to assert even that many more murders is less safe than Stockton, CA.

Safety is about "am I more or less likely to have something happen to me" and no one is thinking that means moving to the tiniest country of 2,000 people where only 10 murders happened in the entire country last year.
To be fair, the universe offers as much free speech as is possible. You can say anything you think of. The universe ain't gonna stop ya.

> Seattle has abundant housing

Seattle has five-year waiting lists[1] for low-income housing, and practically no housing options for someone who is actually broke and homeless, even if they don't have an addiction.

It has some shelters, but shelters aren't housing. A shelter is a place you can (sometimes) sleep, it's not a place you can live in. And it doesn't have 9,000 empty shelter beds, to house all the street homeless, either.

You know where has abundant housing? NYC. A city with 10 times the population, but half the street homeless. Because the rest are housed. (A foreign concept to this city.)

My issue with RAG systems isn’t hallucinations. Yes sure those are important. My issue is recall. Given petabyte-scale index of chunks, how can I make sure that my RAG system surfaces the “ground truth” I need, and not just “the most similar vector”.

This I think is scarier. A healthcare-oriented (or any industry) RAG retrieving a bad, but highly linguistically similar answer.
Something is off here. Vaccines in summer 2019 (before covid)? Pfizer available in August 2020? Timeline is wonky.

Vaccines in my memory only become broadly available April 2021 (in the US), and at that time I knew people who got Pfizer and people who got Moderna.

An .epub file is in a lot of ways what you're asking for (it's HTML-based, it's designed to package inline media such as images and provide fallbacks if the client can't/won't make remote requests, it has limited/no scripting capabilities), and you might find it interesting to peruse its specification[1].

> building more housing will never solve the problem.

It only seems that way because in many popular metros around the country, demand has far outstripped supply for decades.

The problem is "solved" in areas that aren't as popular, with zero regulation on who's allowed to purchase homes; ordinary people can buy ordinary homes on ordinary incomes. But aspirational young people don't tend to move to such areas.
I have a different take on this. I ask a fairly simple coding question and have them write code. No fancy algorithms to memorize or competition style coding.

I want to see if they can think in code. If they can translate something simple to written code. There's always a chance to have a conversation as well to probe different aspects of their understanding.

A few of those by a few people and I think you get a pretty good read.

Mix in some questions about their work and/or some general knowledge. I've also given people code to read (real world code) and explain to me.

For Algorithms and Data Structures I can look at their grades if they're fresh out of school. But we all know most of our work is not that (someone's gonna show up on the thread and say differently - I'm sure ;) ). If you can think in code and have the right mental models implementing an algorithm from a book isn't hard if you really have to.
ChartMogul | Remote (only able to hire within EU) | Full-time

Coming up on our 10th year, we're building the leading Subscription Analytics Platform for growing SaaS businesses. We're a remote-first company with 66 team members across 23 different countries. Profitable and self-sustaining since our seed funding.

Our core product is a Ruby on Rails backend with Vue.js and TypeScript frontend. Postgres serves most of our database needs along with a Snowflake data warehouse. We're on AWS using Docker and Kubernetes.

They should have hired more builder types and great designers. IMO they had all the press on their side, riding the decentralization wave, and really were given an excellent opportunity, it's a shame.

Product took forever and when it finally came out it wasn't impressive. They should have staffed up some badass devs & designers who ship or even considered a top tier agency who would have made something truly stunning. Test the market at each step. Decentralization deserved better!

I think a good comparison is OpenAI (including the whole "are they open vs closed" part that Bluesky had to deal with). OpenAI has done an excellent job of: 1) Releasing good products on a good cadence 2) Keeping us waiting in suspense for the next big thing.

Decentralization has a very high excitement potential - I think Bluesky just dropped the ball. Didn't prioritize product.
A bit funny, but I personally found "please learn to never..." to be MUCH more off-putting and patronizing than the "why not just...".

Maybe just something about the latter being interpreted as a question, and the former being interpreted as an order.
On the other hand, a 300,000 square foot office in SF can probably be easily be converted to about 30,000 studios and rented out for a cool 3 billion a month.
That's why these interviews select for recent grads. Or leet code studiers.

Yes we've all done this in university. We've learned the theory. We had to write an implementation of this or that algorithm in whatever language the university made us use.

And we also know that great minds took a long time to come up with these in the first place. These "basic algorithms" are not something you think up in 5 minutes after first learning that computers exist or that some problem exists.

Bin packing algorithms are another such thing. Sure ask me interview "questions" like "please prove whether P=NP".

Eff off Mr. or Mrs. interviewer!

I agree as well and had a similar but slightly different experience. I think that some of the material that I read in high school was great; but not appropriate for my age. While reading that material in school, I was bored and frustrated because I did not have enough life experiences (and empathy) to understand the emotional delicacy that the piece was bringing to my mental palette.

When I grew up (just by a few years) and accidentally re - discovered a work that I hated in school, I found it extremely deep and thought provoking.

Maybe high school students are not a great audience for appreciating a lot of literature, at least I wasn't.
The point isn't that it's a standard, it's that it's implemented in browser (not in a framework), and is a lot closer to the web equivalent of "bare metal". There are less moving pieces that will break backwards compatibility in the next 10 years (is the hope)

> an imaginary world where tenants rights were at the top and they couldn't just be removed from a home at the whim of the landlord

On the contrary, strong tenants' rights are correlated with higher rents and worse availability of rentals; or it is at least in the real world, where neither tenants nor landlords are angels.
Software does mostly target Profiles, such as RVA22 (latest ratified application profile). They specify a set of extensions that is required.

Note that all software compiled for RVA20 does still run on RVA22 CPUs. but software built for RVA22 does not (directly, trapping and emulating is possible) run on the older RVA20 CPUs, as they lack the necessary instructions.

This is not unlike e.g.: x86-64v3 vs x86-64v2.

It is only in situations where the implementation is very small and vendor has full control of both the software and the hardware stack that the vendor might benefit from implementing exactly what they want.

CPUs and software stacks for servers, workstations, laptops, smartphones, tablets and such simply stick to profiles.

Windows and Android are expected to require RVA22+V, possibly RVA23, as the baseline.
> How is something that is twice as expensive as the competition not a luxury device?

You can buy a version of <insert product here> from Walmart at 1/2 price of a "normal" retailer. Does that mean every "normal" retailer is actually a luxury goods dealer?

I guess that's an open question that the community will decide. I can't speak for anyone in particular, but if you watch live streams of fractal, bluescuti, etc. their primary drive seems to be to have more game to play, not less. They already go far beyond the 'max' score that the UI can display. For them to "beat" Tetris is to play so long that there's no more game left to play not just to get the biggest number.

Apologies, I wasn't aware you were making up numbers. That isn't useful, or helpful in conversation in my opinion, but clearly you feel strongly that's a reasonable thing to do.

You may be right, but the word "bitch" is generally a toxic insult and obsence word. and for female dogs, you can use the terms "female dog or female dogs" instead of "bitch or bitches". Otherwise, the word "bitch" in the sentence becomes uncontrollable and becomes normalized for artificial intelligence.
Yep, until you generate code—it's harder from a technical POV but you can get way higher performance & reliability.

Test which LLM model to use for my app?
I, an engineer, am not doing this myself, too. There is a middle ground though: just use a privacy-oriented Android build, like DivestOS. [1]

There are a couple caveats:

1. It is still a bit tricky for a non-technical person to install. Should not be a problem if they know somebody who can help, though. There's been some progress making the process more user friendly recently (e.g. WebUSB-based GrapheneOS installer).

2. There are some papercuts if you don't install Google services on your phone. microG [2] helps with most but some still remain. My main concern with this setup is that I can't use Google Pay this way, but having to bring my card with me every time seems like an acceptable trade off to me.

The biggest thing for me is if I have a caffinated beverage later in the day (say after noon, but especially with dinner), it becomes a lot harder to fall asleep. This can be subtle, but like was tired all day and had a cola with dinner and now can't go to sleep is a pattern.

But yeah, if I drink a Trente anything from Starbucks, there's a whole lot of caffine in there and I feel jittery and uncomfortable, and there's nothing to do about it other than wait and maybe drink extra water and hope that helps.

Apple is also deliberately avoiding having “celeron” type products in their lineup because those ultimately mar the brand’s image due to being kinda crap, even if they’re technically adequate for the tasks they’re used for.

They instead position midrange products from 1-2 gens ago as their entry level which isn’t quite as cheap but is usually also much more pleasant to use than the usual bargain basement stuff.
>I don't know why people think communication skills are not required for programmers

That so significantly fails to resemble the claims being made that it strains credulity that it could be a good faith interpretation of the conversation.

Maybe, but that has no bearing on whether they need to be done at the same time, which they do not in just about work environment. I guess there's probably somewhere that does mandatory pair programming for everything, but I've certainly never seen it.

Don't discard good anecdotal evidence because there's no proper randomly controlled trial. If you're experienced/senior in the industry you probably worked with dozens of developers closely, with hundreds less closely, you've seen many projects and designs, you've interviewed and was involved in the hiring of dozens of people.

This random controlled trial you're talking about is so hard to do because there are infinite confounders. How do you even measure success? After how long? How do you separate politics from technical ability?

In reality people above a certain bar are able to make some contribution to most projects. You can't and don't need to staff every project with superstars. The superstars are rare but are not hard to identify. They'll have the track record, reputation and the skills.

Another thing to consider is that the best outcome of interviews depends on the quality of the pipeline into those interviews. If you can't get good employees to apply you won't get good employees hired. Pay well and build a company that people want to work for, and then your hiring is going to be easier.

Interesting. I do similar (lots of Rails) but have pretty much the opposite experience (other than battery life - Mac definitely wins there). Though I use i3/Sway more than Gnome. The performance of running our huge monolith locally is much better for Linux users than Mac users where I work.

I used a Mac for awhile back in 2015 but it never really stood out to me UX-wise, even compared to Gnome. All I really need to do is open a few windows and then switch between them. In i3 or Sway, opening and switching between windows is very fast and I never have to drag stuff around.

Ah, but in the other universe, you logged in successfully and saw there was nothing to see.
In answer to your first question, in the field that would be the primary blast door, a penetration that went through the capsule to a chamber with another larger blast door out to the elevator. At the other end of this chamber is the passage to the generator room. We were obviously equipped to go quite some time “off-grid”.

I am assuming the view is from one of the training simulators which are used exact, suspended control centers with a viewing window.

We had no maps in the capsule. Any targeting we did was normal 3-d coordinates, technically we really did not have a “need to know” where the coordinates were located.

Google is the only company I’ve seen over my 25 years in the industry in which I had a director reporting to a director _and_ a VP reporting to a VP in my chain of command at the same time. So IDK about half of everyone, but half of management could be let go and things would only improve. Thing is, though, they’re the ones laying people off.
> I can tell you the last time I had to write a singly-linked list implementation though. October 17th, Nineteen Ninety Never.

The point of writing (and working with) linked list implementations in a CS2 course is not because linked lists are something you'll have to implement yourself later (although there are certain areas of systems programming where return values of various system calls are, effectively, linked lists).

The point of working with LLs in CS2 is because they are an extremely simple data structure that you can inspect the entire implementation of; and their use of references/pointers gives practice with that concept before upgrading to the concepts of trees and (linked) graphs; and their fundamental structure and properties are so different from array-type list implementations that they provide a good first example of two different implementation strategies that can produce exactly the same output/result but with different space and time usage properties; and the parallel implementations are also a motivation for abstracting interface away from implementation and keeping data private and interface public.

So, that's why I teach linked lists in CS2. I try to be very up-front with my students about that; sorry to hear that your professors maybe weren't. I pretty solidly agree that a LinkedList per se is not particularly useful to a working software engineer; but that's not why we teach them.

I will say, some of the techniques that live in the brains of machinists/welders/technicians is borderline alchemy, and sometimes highly specific to the worker themselves.

> I've never seen anyone link to a Bluesky post

Since Twitter/X stopped making some posts public and make it so hard to view profiles you'd think Bluesky would be all over this.

We had a small earthquake not too long ago in SF and I had no Twitter to check - that instant live Internet community is just gone, and it's not just that. Everything used to come out so fast on Twitter, it was a really exciting place to be. It's of course totally ruined now and has been for years, but it was once an awesome thing.

Not sure why Bluesky isn't all over Hollywood and politics, in a presidential election year no less. They're just not doing this very well.
What made you stop?
Anecdotally, some of the people I follow on Twitter have increased their usage of Bluesky, although their primary activity is still on Twitter.
I'd like to offer a counterpoint, I have an old'ish T480s which runs linuxmint, several lxd containers for traefik, golang, python, postgres and sqlserver (so not even dockerized, but full VMs running these services), and I can go the whole morning (~4-5 hours).

I think the culprit is more likely the power hungry intel CPU in your yoga?

Going on a slight tangent; I've tried but do not like the mac keyboards, they feel very shallow to me, hence why I'm still using my old T480s. The newer thinkpad laptop keyboards all seem to be going that way though (going thinner), much to my dismay. Perhaps a P14s is my next purchase, despite it's bulk.

Anybody with a framework 13 want to comment on their keyboard?
That’s not an issue with Macboom but with MS. MS has an incentive to deliver such a terrible experience on macs.
Nostr has an authentic community too, not least due to that users can directly tip the developers for their work, as well as tip each other for the interesting content people post.
Assuming you mean latency, Apple's unified memory isn't lower latency than other soldered or socketed solutions e.g. M1 Max with 111ns latency on cache miss vs 13900k with 93ns latency. Certainly not L3 level latency. Zero copy between CPU/GPU is great but not unique to unified memory or soldered ram.

As far as bandwidth goes, you would only need one or two LPCAMM2 modules to match or exceed the bandwidth of non-Max M series chips. Accommodating Max chips in a macbook with LPCAMM2 would definitely be a difficult packaging problem.
